Marilyn Monroe A Portrait at The National Portrait Gallery was absolutely brilliant! The exhibition celebrates this strong iconic beautiful movie star's 100th Birthday, with her portraits and photographs, some of her clothes, shoes and make up are on display, and clips from all the movies she's been in. Photographs showed how relaxed Marilyn Monroe was in front of the camera, she was a talented actress and an intelligent woman and will always be a worldwide icon. This exhibition is great for everyone to visit.

Wonderful gallery. Really versatile and welcoming. I have to say it was quite noisy throughout. A lot of chatter and a lot of visitors so, should I return, I would try and find a quieter time. The art work is beautiful and there is so much to see. Staff were very friendly too!! I loved the detail and descriptions along with the portraits, it really makes the difference to me and adds to the experience. I'd defintiely visit again.

Went to the Marilyn Monroe exhibition, loved it! All v well organised, not too many people (Thursday lunchtime) beautifully exhibited, mainly photos, telling the story thru imagery. Lunch in the forth floor restaurant The Portrait was excellent, food, vino, service & views.

National Portrait Gallery is a great place to spend hours, houses a great collection of portraits; all the way from Tudor times up to contemporary public figures. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful, the gallery has several facilities: cafes and restrooms. Also, in celebration of the Hollywood star’s 100th birthday and in association with the Marilyn Monroe estate, Marilyn Monroe: A Portrait explores the life, career and legacy of Marilyn Monroe through portraits created by some of the greatest photographers and artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. Bringing together works by Andy Warhol, Pauline Boty, Marlene Dumas, James Gill, Rosalyn Drexler and Audrey Flack, alongside over 20 era-defining photographers, including Cecil Beaton, Philippe Halsman, Bernard of Hollywood, André de Dienes, Eve Arnold, Inge Morath, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Milton Greene, Sam Shaw, Richard Avedon and George Barris, the exhibition foregrounds Monroe’s collaborative approach to image making and her creative agency. The exhibition also includes personal belongings such as scripts and clothes to enrich understanding of the woman behind the image. Like most public museums, admissions is free of charge. Definitely worth a visit.

A picture they say tells a thousand stories. Nothing captures more succinctly the experience of vising the National Potrait Gallery better than this expression. Each floor and pieces take you on a history tour. From the Tudors to modern day royal family and famous personalities across the British Isle. Each floor tells a story in time and the rooms are adorned with a cross section pf ornate pictures to statues and even death mask. Pictures, paintings, drawings, and digital representations, the NPG has it all. The gallery is conspicuous although could easily be confused for the National Gallery which occupies the other side of the building facing Trafalgar square. The ambience, lighting and lay out all work well and the stairs are easy to climb. There are functional lifts and a cafe at the ground floor. I think level - 2. Overall, a great place to learn and another infinity stone of the countless museums in and around London. P.S admission is mostly free except to the Monroe exhibition.
